June is where the season gets serious. The Southern Ocean storms are at their most productive and the swell reaching the Pacific coast is both larger and more frequent than in May. It is the first of the three best months of the year, and they run back to back.
The wind stays out of it. Green-season mornings are light and variable, which on a coast with real groundswell means glass rather than a two hour offshore window, and it is why people who have surfed here before plan around June to August rather than around the dry weather. Rain arrives in the afternoon and it arrives most days. The water is at 29°C, and every session is boardshorts.
